CUTTING GARMENTS FOR MEN.
How Ready Made Clothing Is Made to
Fit the Average Customer.

Every man of well proportional figure
can go into ready made clothing estab-
ishnent and purchase suit that will fit
him tolerably well for n very little money.
There was q time when the prices were
not so reasonable and the fit of the gar
ments not so satisfactory. The ready
made business has been carried to q de-
gree Of perfection during the past few
years that has made banllrupts Of many
custom tailors. Deductions have been
drawn from experience, experiments have
been tried, and the human figure has
been SO carefully studied, that an average
measurement has been established where
by nine out of every ten men can be fitted
to their satisfaction.
The system of cutting garments adopted
by the leading establishments is known as
the progressive method" 1t starts from
the chest measurement and works accord
ing to law Of progression. 1t has been
proved that the figure of q well built man
can be fitted from the chest measurement
alone-in other words, n man who meas
ures Al inches across the chest will, il
nature has endowed him with perfect
form, measure 90 81 inches across the
shoulders and 25 81 inches at the shoulder
blade. These are the fundamental meas
urementS Of tailors, for if coat fits
snugly at the shoulders other considera-
tions arc, with most men, of small inn
portance. If man measures az or 43
inches across the chest the other proper
lions increase progressively three fourths
of an inch around the shoulders and one
half an inch at the shoulder blade for every
additional inch OF chest measurement.
The trousers are secondary matter.
They are made Of all sizes, to suit long
and short legged men alike.
or course many men cannot be fitted
well in ready made garments. They arc
made for the average figure, and not for
the peculiar build of badly formed men.
The progressive method" has proved so
successful that even custom tailors have
adopted the chest measurement to start
from making other notifications in the
cut Of the garments afterward to suit the
proportions Of their patrons. Some tailors
advertise by circulars to make perfectly
fitting garments from the measurement Of
the chest alone.-New York Mail and
Express.

Eeccars, Day in Mexico.

Throughout the length and breadth of
Mexico Saturday is known as "beggars'
day." when, under special countenance of
church and state, mendicants of all de-
grees and both sexes levy demands upon
people with the utmost confidence. Out
of their coverts and lairs they swarm
in incredible numbers-the blind, the
halt, the lame and the lazy-and before
sunrise on the morning aforesaid the
streets are literally filled with them.
First they make tour of the shops and
markets, and the obliging merchants, in
anticipation of their coming, have laid by
store of small coin for the occasion. To
refuse to give would be bad advertise
ment, for among these professional men,
dicants are many good customers for the
rest of the week. Then they HE them
selves, with their rags and crutches, to
the sanctuaries and after mass is over and
the churches deserted they patrol every
street, leaving not house unvisited or 4

There are all sorts of queer signs and
placards in English shops, and the under
standing of many of them is thing be-
yond Yankee comprehension. What is an
American child going to select in q British
confectioner's from the candies piacarded
aDingees," 'sFondants,' 'sAboukirs, ,,
sPralines' and s'Waterloo Jambsa'' The
candies themselves are none too inviting
to those familiar with American and
French dainties. A favorite method here
is to sell them in little bottles, all pre-
pared and suggestive of drug store cough
drops and Group dabs. One universal ad-
junct of the grocer's shop is a basket filed
with hen triumphs and labeled: "New
laid sggs,n These are seen in the hearts
of the biggest cities, and the thew laid
eggs" are invariably covered with dust.
An agreeable sign on some houses in
nearly every street is that of Me- So-and-
so, surgeon, often accompanied by another
pointing to the basement, showing the
road ito the surgery" The ordinary
EnglishmaR must needs stand deal of

The Always Needy Turk.

The Porte Is before the powers again
with brace of fresh requests, one being
for permission to issue loan of $25, 00O,-
coo on the Egyptian and Cyprus tributes,
and the other that the powers will nomin-
ate some candidate for the Bulgarian
throne who will be acceptable to the
SObranje. Both requests are in the line
of chronic helplessness which has long
been associated with Turkey The puzzle
in her finances is how she constantly man.
ages, when apparently beyond the bottom
OF her cash and quite ut the bottom of her
credit, to hunt up some new article Of
value to pawn or some old one on which
an additional mortgage is possible. With
billion dollars or so of debt, on which
only fractional interest is paid, she was
able not long ago to pledge some of her
railways for money with which to buy
guns and ammunition. Now comes an
other device, and The wonder is where it
will all end. Perhaps she will begin soon
to sell out some Of her islands or outlying
provinces if the powers will allow each
other to buy them.-New York Times

An Old English Captain.

A conspicuous object in front of the
house of commons the other day was an
army captain, formerly belonging to the
Eighty-sixth regiment, who, in order to
attract attention to some unheeded griev-
ance he has against the war office, dressed
himself up In a most extraordinary
manner, He wore black undress mill
tary suit, white campaigning shake, two
white sachels hanging at his side, and he
carried In his hands an enormous broom,
with handle about four feet long.
Dressed in this garb, and leaning on his
broom, he stood silently in front of
one of the gates of the house dur
ing the greater part of the day. He
did not appear to be mad, but he
seemed to suffer from great mental dis
tress. His age was about 55, and even in
his fantastic uniform he had a respectable
and commanding presence. Boston Tran.

New Industry in Sweden,

A new industry has lately sprung up in
Sweden, and promises shortly to become
q most important one. Oil for illuminate
ing purposes is now manufactured in that
country from the stumps and roots that
remain in the forests after the timber has
been cut. These have been subjected to
process of dry distillation, and besides
wood Gil many other products are OBJ
tanned, amongst them turpentine, creo-
sote, hectic acid, wood charcoal, tar oils,
etc. This oil cannot be used in ordinary
lamps, as containing large proportion of
carbon it gives off a great deal Of smoke
during combustion When mixed with
benzine, however, it may be used in or
binary benzine lamps; but when burned
alone a special lamp must be adopted,
The trees that furnish the greatest
amount of oil are the pine and fir. There
are now about forty establishments en-
gagged in this manufacture in Sweden

The English Negro Minstrel.

One of the greatest nuisances of the day
was the negro minstrel. do not know
of anything more distressing than the
English imitation of the American negro's
peculiarities. This style of fun does not,
1 should say, bear transplanting. The
English minstrel is vulgar, awkward and
coarse; he is never by any chance funny;
there is no real wit in him. The darky
humer Is spontaneous and genial. The
English negro MINISTRIES are simply types
of very bad rejected Music hall talent Of
the lowest grade disguised behind a coat
ing of burnt cork. Their dress is in imf-
tation of our MINISTRIES, These men go
about and howl under the coaches and
will not leave until they receive some
thing..-New York World.

The queen regent Of Spain is knocking
the blue laws Of Splnish etiquette to
pieces at jolly rate. The other day she
called meeting Of the ministry at the
Castle of Aranjuez. When the statesmen
reached the gate of the park they found
the qneen and the Princess Isabel waiting
for them, The Queen was in victoria
and the Princess Isabel was in o drag and
four. The queen was driving. She in
vited Senior Sa:gasta to take q seat beside
her, and the other ministers were accom-
nodated in the drag On reaching tho
castle coffee was brought, and the queen
ordered cigars to be produced as well and
offered to the gentlemen. The ministers
seemed to hesitate. In all the annals of
Spanish history no subject had ever
smoked in the presence of queen. The
queen regent, however, gave the COM
mand, and the ministers, like dutiful sub
jccts, obeyed. Gold sticks and chamber
lains have been ever since in hopeless
espondency.-New York Tribune.

UNGATHEReo BEAUTY.

Wear not the white rose of thy courtesy
On this day and on that, but let it bloom
Unplucked in thy souls garden, as plume
High nodding DER The crest of chivalry.
Long gathered blossoms are not loved of thee;
The fairest haste to an unlovely doom,
While the fall'n rose its beauty doth resume
In each new bud unfolding on the tree
Wouldst thou the servant Of occasion be,
And match thy mood to every CLEAN and

When thou mightst wander where the heavens

Aye Towering verdure? Dearer unto me
The ungathered hedge rose, with its faint per-

Than clipped exotics dropping languidy.

Tho travelling Public to Blame.

Perhaps collisions at sea between great
steamships will become entirely impos-
sible some day; but it will not be until
the travelling pullic gets over its present
hurry. II steamships came to full stop
the moment the fog settled down on them,
or just as soon as another fog horn than
their own was heard, there would not be
any serious chance of their coming to-
gethcr. BY code of signals under such
circumstances one vessel might even adj
vance slowly while the other stood ready
to back, until it was certain that they had
passed each other. But this would be
slow work, and the growing Of the pas
sengere at the Glelay would probably
drive the commander to suicide or vio-
lence No, the public itself is not yet
quite willing to travel safely. Now York
